This paper discusses retractable gas cooled leads for the ASTROMAG experiment superconducting solenoid which will operate on the space station. The ASTROMAG magnet will be cooled by superfluid helium pumped from a storage tank by a fountain effect pump. Since it is desirable to keep the helium consumption low, retractable gas cooled leads are proposed for the ASTROMAG magnet. These leads, which will be in the cryostat vacuum space, will connect directly with the helium flow circuitry which cools the magnet. The leads will operate in a flow circuit separated from the shields. 10 refs., 6 figs.
